Hey all,

I want to buy this GTR spoiler off ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...RTQ:MOTORS:1123

They say they can paint it for me, but they want to charge me $226 just for painting it. So all up thats like $450 or something. Could go for it, but i wanted to see if there would be a cheaper option first?

So does anyone know where i could get it painted for cheaper, or could anyone do it for me, name your price.

Cheers,

Martin

$226 is a reasonable price. But they can't possibly match the paint perfectly with your car. And I would be worried about the quality of the paint/work, and it getting scratched/damaged on it's way over. If it's a shit job, you can't exactly take it back to them easily.

I'd say get it done over here. Ring around Panel shops for quotes :)

You might need to wait until you get it so you can take it in for a quote as well.

PaYbAcK bought one of these for his 32, absolute crap quality. The adjustable wing doesn't sit very well and wobbles all over the place. It wobbled that much that it ripped off going down the Tonkin Highway at 100km/h.

He's had to spend a fair bit of time modifying it to work properly.

Speaking from experience, don't do it.

That is bad quality for China but I guess Via Japan must mean it is better workmanship............. I had a look and other people have picked them up for $50 to $55 US (link) but shipping is $120 AUS and it takes 3 weeks.

The gauge pod image attached shows how good their work is when you look closely, as people in the detailed feed back say "You get what you pay for".

Same mob man, via Japan.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
